I agree 💯 guys. Ukraine's allies should at the very least be helping defend Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇦🇺
the mobilisation delay was entirely due to exemptions - there is no way MPs of the Rada would send their own family to the frontline ?
its too late.:(
of course not, the families of all Ukrainian officials have been living abroad for a long time, including the wife of former President Zelensky
@@burritoslsFORMER President Zelenskyy...?
@@raymondporter2094 Well, yes, Zelensky's powers ended in March. His presidential term is over. The fact that he canceled the elections does not mean that he remains president. It's obvious)
@@burritosls . .
Russian material shortages are just stop gap measures taken to keep momentum due to extensive training and build up of larger forces they will deploy later. Everyone will be caught off guard and Ukraine will be overrun.
Another lunatic
Братан, кто зайдёт на территрию РФ мы всех убьём, вы даже не думайте сюда прийти!!! Вы видимо не очень понимаете кто такие русские и как они живут! Ещё раз скажу, мы всех убьём, кто решит сюда прийти
In Australia in the 70's we had ballotted conscription for 2 years ( Possibly ending up in Vietnam). Many boys opted to sign up for the CMF(Reserve) for 3 years, rather than take the chance of being conscripted for 2 years with the possiility of being sent to war.
The George W Bush strategy.

Great episode, as always!
..Thanks for the update..Ukraine the latest … 🇮🇪❤️🇺🇦
Francis. On the subject of seizing foreign investments made by Russia, I seem to recall that Russia did something similar to our assets after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Russian industrialisation had been achieved prior to WW1 by huge loans from France and Britain in particular, and the Bolsheviks never paid any of it back.
BACK TO THE FRONT!
Excellent, informative episode. Great to hear Svitlana. From Italy.
Absolutely, Dom... Radar prices will go up and therefore affect global inflation, most especially in USA !
Dang I’m already paying so much for my radar, and twice that for my radar detector! What’s next, air?
Its getting harder and harder to keep a positive narrative if routing for the Ukrainians 😂
Says a fan of Russell ⬆️ = disinformation
I amazed they can keep it up😆

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even in 2050 they will still paint Crimea as part of Ukraine's territory.
There’ll be no one left to go circus or watch TV
Svetlana certainly delivered some bad news. The level of honesty is admirable. The conscription bill probably passed too late to get new conscripts trained and to the front before the Russian summer offensive. Ukraine has too few soldiers to defend everywhere. The soldiers at the front have largely been there since at least early 2022 with no hope of rotating out. Morale is at a low ebb. Ukraine is low on artillery shells as well. I'm 100% in support of Ukraine. The stoppage of military aid from my country, the USA makes me furious at the MAGAs causing it and sad for what it might cost Ukraine. I'm not going to predict anything too bad. Russia has been incompetent militarily so hopefully, even if they break through in places this summer, they won't be able to exploit the breakthrough as well as a more competent force might. Ukraine has interior lines and will probably have to form a mobile rapid response force on a divisional scale to move to blunt breakthroughs. That kind of thing might even allow for a Russian breakthrough to be cutoff and wiped out. Also, hopefully Ukraine will have enough artillery shells by then to punish Russian assaults. It is probably going to be a difficult summer that will be studied by militaries around the world for generations to come. I still believe Ukraine will win this war, even if it is unlikely that summer 2024 will go well. Maybe Ukraine can inflict grievous losses on the Russians, or maybe drones will limit the Russians ability to attack even with a numbers advantage. If I was a younger man and wasn't my elderly mother's main care taker, I'd like to think I'd be in Ukraine now, doing what little I could to help.
What honesty? She was doing nothing but spewing Putin's lies
It's time for negotiations
Why would any sane person risk their life to fight for global elite and their woke agenda?
It sounds like no new soldiers until August. Wow.
😂
Yeah, this war is over. The only thing up in the air is whether Russia will own all of Ukraine or just parts of it. If the west was going to step-in with troops they'd have already done it & no amount of aid is going to change the trajectory of this conflict.
Ukrainians are not like the muscovites who are willing to sacrifice serfs for their their czar
@@kevinleecaster2698 Yah ..but the Ukrainians are forced to die
This very nice woman waiting patiently as these dudes talk about shoes and tweed jackets lol
MiG-31I fighter jets have been upgraded and received an air refueling system to increase the combat radius, a defense industry source told TASS. "MiG-31I fighters of the Russian long-range aviation received a possibility to refuel in the air and increased the combat engagement distance," the source said. Another source said MiG-31I differs from previous MiG-K option by "different engines, avionics and missiles." TASS has no official confirmation of the report. The Izvestia daily earlier said MiG-31I will be able to refuel in the air. The fighter has electronic systems that increase the flight characteristics and capabilities. The jet is equipped with an electronic remote control system and onboard computers that automatically bring the jet into the required trajectory and fire a hypersonic missile at the calculated time.
Most-searched term in Google in Ukrainian this week " how to cross river into Romania"
It's important to note though that Russians don't have access to Google because the muscovites are too scared of them learning the truth
😆
hahaha so funny russian bot
@timdow8951 hahaha so funny Nato bot😃
42:14 How bloody disappointing! 🤬
A disjointed podcast where Dom stated in a 'tactical deep dive' that Russian forces 'not capable to amass more then 100 men' due to 'manpower isses' but 5 minutes later quoting Ukrainian sources saying this exact sizing limit in the RF is due to having to avoid heavy enemy ISR. Which is it? He also said RF are facing morale issues "since being pushed back by Ukraine" but when was that last true? And what Francis omitted was that if 230B of Russian frozen funds are spent, Russia will smash away at Ukraine even more to keep increasing the cost to the West.
They just make it up and do not care.
@@DungshoveleuxYes, not the best episode by a long way. RF is getting much smarter and their morale can't be any worse than the UAF, which wasn't mentioned.
Good points - but the west won't use the 230B as it frankly wouldn't dare. I doubt it would even use the interest earned, but Russia can ''smash'' all it likes, it cannot sustain this war economically. It's running out of tanks, APV''s and they are being destroyed at a far higher rate than they can replace. Let's be very clear, Putin has made a huge mistake by invading its neighbour.
Pure Propaganda... Alternative reality 😂
Yep. Dom and Francis report anything Ukraine says without question. They reported the Ukrainian military claim that they had destroyed multiple planes in just a few days. Even Ukrainian pravda debunked it, but Dom and Francis didn't correct it.
Why isn't the UK giving a lot more?
Yeah, we’re noticing the contradictions. Dom desperately clings to the claim of human wave attacks with more and more convoluted rationalizations. He apparently believes the change in tactics has nothing to do with lessons learned, but an inability to raise enough men to carry out their preferred ‘have a full division rise up out of the trench and run forward’. Morale may indeed be low, but so is that of the Ukrainians, as is related by the guest. No Ukrainian wants to go to the Ostfront to face an enemy that just comes on and on and on, aided by a hail of artillery and FABs. The pod today was a combo of winging it and shaming by the regulars, followed by a sharply contrasting sobriety from the guest.
Spot on 👍
The guest was an outright liar

Pure comedy!
Brilliant journalisme, bringing updated insights in the best possible way. Thanks!
Why after such a great loss when practicing D day did America launch their tanks from 4 kilometres out?? Losing most of them. The British launched from much closer in. Nothing worse then lessons not learnt, especially when so many lives were lost.RIP.
This show is hilarious! Pure comedy.
Those comments certainly make it clear
Wait....they're saying they can't shoot down Russian missiles since they're not in direct armed conflict with Russia? But they're not in direct armed conflict with Iran!
😅those radio waves!
"Moscow Marjorie" ...she's a joke 🤣🤣
I am disgusted with US congress
The Ukraine has a Patreon...send your own money.
i'm disgusted with the republicans in the US government
12:00 how exactly how are there huge human wave assaults also in smaller groupings?
what a contradiction!!
But he didn't say huge groups though did he; he said continuous waves of small groups. Russia are using small groups, based on the likelihood Ukraine won't waste limited shells on them.
Azov refused the order to go to Chasiv Yar. The End is near...
Without barrier troops the Russian troops would be attacking the Kremlin
Alternative reality by a long shot…
Sooner or later the coffee boy Mike Johnson will vote for the packet for ukraine!,,
And the money will go to the US military industrial complex, as pee usual. Aka money laundering.
To listen to the government officials on why they can shoot down Iran missiles and not the Russian missiles over Ukraine just makes me sick and depressed. It is further evidence that these countries are not yet committed to Ukrainian victory. It is so sad!
its almost like they hate Ukraine and are doing everything possible to make sure they are destroyed.
Could it be " Ukraine very big / Israel very small"
Do not see that as the issue. The issue as I see it, is that the countries withholding types of help are afraid of a Ukranian victory.

@@palemedes965 If Ukraine cannot defend itself on its own with its own resources why would other countries be afraid?
Slovaks collected 1 million euros to join the Czech ammunition initiative though the Slovak government refused to take part.
Accept this fact: Ukraine has mobilized over 1.5 million soldiers. Fallen soldiers exceed 400,000. Soldiers who have lost combat capability but not died 150,000. Soldiers captured by Russia 50,000. Russia has mobilized a total of 850,000 soldiers. 550,000 are engaged in combat on Ukrainian territory. 180,000 are stationed within Russia's borders. Fallen soldiers 60,000. Soldiers who have lost combat capability total 20,000. Those captured by Ukraine amount to 5,000. = Only this scenario makes sense and is consistent with the reality currently being discovered: 1Ukraine faces significant difficulties in conscription. 2Ukrainian frontlines are continually retreating, and the retreat is accelerating. = According to Ukrainian reports, Russia has suffered 450,000 casualties, while Zelensky claims Ukraine has lost 30,000 soldiers. If the situation is indeed as Ukraine and Zelensky describe, then Russia should have already withdrawn completely from Ukrainian territory. Simultaneously, it should have lost control of the Belgorod Oblast.
- my good man, Zelenskiy said 31,000 ? 😂
Fact??? LOLOLOLOLL oh Sergei 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I see oil has moved down $2 today so that should mean another 10% of russian oil refinery capacity can be taken down without any worries
It is already. There was a hit in Voronezh like 20 mins ago.
Everyone who wants to help take down is switching to driving an EV and has stopped flying in order to lower the price of oil
Ukrainian News: 16 April 2024, Tuesday, 13:22 Russia was able to quickly restore oil refining capacity after Ukrainian attacks - Reuters The aggressor country of russia was able to quickly repair some of the key oil refineries that were hit by Ukrainian drone attacks. This was reported by the Reuters agency on Monday, April 15. Russia is rapidly repairing its refineries, despite difficulties in obtaining advanced Western technologies. The agency writes that the Ryazan plant of Rosneft, the Kuibyshev and Syzran refineries returned to work the installations that were under repair. "According to Reuters estimates, russia's total primary oil refining capacity hit by drones fell to 90,500 metric tons per day from about 123,800 metric tons per day earlier. However, Russia's total primary oil refining capacity overall is down due to various outages and repairs, is expected at the level of 4.4 million tons in April against 4.1 million tons in March," the material says.
@@arthurarthur6083 Economist reports that Russia takes but 3 weeks to repair damage done by these strikes and bring refinery back to full production.

Wut??? At least use Google translate...
Cheeky comments tonight....motor bike's ain't it..😂😂😂
The 'foreign agents bill' must be opposed in Georgia. If it is implemented the clandestine influence and meddling of the US and UK in Georgian politics would be obvious to all.
Oh no! Promoting freedom and democracy!?!? What next, eating? Self reliance? Noooooo!
Exactly
Just the same, the law must be passed. Any civilized country has such a law, including the United States and Russia.

truth hurts but shouldn't result in punishment - same for Julian Assange
This would not have happened if Ukraine accepted the reality that it was more relevant to Russia than it was to the US, in a same way the Afghanistan was more relevant to Taliban than to American voters. Ukraine was brave. Finland was smart. Ukraine’s politicians don’t have much choice now. To accept a peace treaty on Russian terms is to admit that they are accepting a deal that is worse than what they could have gotten before the war or at it’s beginning, having wasted thousands of Ukrainian lives. God help Ukraine
Right, so Ukraine is not allowed to self determine unless it's in favour of Russian influence? Okay comrade.
Ukraine is losing. Stop the war.
It's losing the current battle, not the war. Ukraine will not lose this war, they may not win, but they won't lose. By definition that means Russia loses.
Why? So the Kremlin can enslave them? Putin is a pathetic creature and a miserable specimen of man. He has caused immeasurable suffering and all becasue of his feeble delusions. The same can be said for the other Kremlin creeps.

@@sebastianforbes1 Russia demographically never truly recovered after ww2 (And ww1+Civil War combination). And as time went by this problem only increased. Majority of putin's government was trying to address this problem from family politics to even fully open door immigration policy for central Asia. This is not just a matter of "Recruitable Manpower" for russian army, this is a matter of catastrophic demographic crisis that will hit Russia like a 100km/h (60miles/h) Truck. One of the reason's why Putin wanted to quickly annex Ukraine was to quick-fix russian demographics by adding 40mln people to it. Yet as of right now this blew up the other direction with millions of russians emigrating, dying or being permamently disabled. Of course Ukraine suffers from exactly the same problems. And most likely Ukraine after this war will be a completely broken state. But important difference is that Ukraine fight's for it's own survival which makes any measures and any cost in their eyes worth taking. And idea behind imperialism is to get something at the expanse of others not destroy both yourself and your target.
@@sebastianforbes1 Russian mentality is exactly like that of ww1 states, when they cared more about winning that about any reasonable goals behind it. In the end it literally broke everyone involved. French were completely de-moralized to fight any new war, British were unable to recreate their army, Russia literally Collapsed into civil war. Yes, Russia can win this war, by taking both Ukraine and itself down with it, but by the end what goal is exactly achieved? Annexing a state that population will be completely hostile towards Russian government with infrastructure so destroyed that it does not bring any value and will need to repaired from Russian taxes? While simultaneously destroying your own economy and demographics in the process? Don't even ask about de-mining costs. All this is achieved while Nato which was on a verge of slowly Disolving itself found itself a new purpose of opposing and containing aggressive Russia.
Well as an American thought there would be peace deal already why so much lives please work something out surrender some land stop this please.
